yeah it used to flex pretty good with the coils, I was happy with the flex, until I started breaking parts, like 5/8" bolts and ripping mounting tabs, you know, stuff like that.
Now, with the springs solidly mounted, I feel much safer about the parts staying put, and I havn't really figured out how much stuff and flex I'm getting yet.
Quite a bit I suppose.....

Looks good Steve. Think the front could use some more lift or the back a little less, but it is huge now.
As for getting in to the big rigs, I think that 37's will make me need to jump a little and I am looking forward to it.
What are the plans for the rear bumper?

Chuck's ZR2 does quite well. In fact, I wouldn't challenge him, he's got you and I beat with at least a rear locker.
I think it's OK to mess with somone, but I at least know the guy. He actually came to last years CO4RJ. He's a good dude.

And you're right, just because it is not a TOYOTA, I would not underestimate its capabilities.

I bought these rock sliders from AedoFab in Illinois http://www.aedofab.com/. One of the few places that makes anything for the ZR2. Lack of aftermarket is one of the reasons why I'm thinking of going with a Toyota next. Not to mention I have 135k+ on this truck which is a 2001. I drive it a lot. I'm not here to compare brands, I'm here because I have friends here and to research some Yota info. Lastly, to answer the locker question, it is a GM gov-lock locker. It locks automatically when wheel spin is more than 5mph between wheels. Works great in most applications, BUT rock crawling, where I spend a lot of my time.
Anyway...
